bette1981 I am going through this exact same thing. I just came home for the holidays and found out my mom has stage 3 lung cancer. She too is going through the chemo. It's been really hard on myself and my family. We've done a lot of praying and this has helped. It's...

bette1981 Isn't it funny how our society assumes that if you, the one holding the baby, are black, and the baby is white... you must have kidnapped the baby. But if the baby is black, and you are white, no questions are asked. It's pathetic and sad how our socity places...

bette1981 You're not going to like my response but I think you should give your girlfriend the boot. She's emotionally blackmailing you into doing something for which you have not said no to but have only requested that she WAIT. If she truly cared about your needs and...

Do you think it's ok to SPANK kids? Why or Why Not?

MothersWorkAtHome @MothersWorkAtHome (966) • United States 1 Dec 06

bette1981 I don't think parents spank their kids enough or they spank them too much to the point of abuse. It seems today like there is no happy medium on discipline. It's so sad. Yes, spank them in moderation and when their acts warrant such punishment.

For those of you who are the big fans of country music, please choose on of this two divas that you prefer. Please mention your reasons!

bette1981 Shania Twain. Faith Hill is fake and a diva. Though some may disagree. Especially after that incident with her recently on that awards show. I think Shania's music is better too.

bette1981 I think that you should've told her/him that you thought it was very unprofessional to fire you in front of those people and let them know that this is not the end of it. Call tomorrow to see if you can speak to the boss of your exboss. As Bob Dylan says...
